Preflop is ok, but folding isn't bad either.
I like your postflop line. When MP just calls you can be pretty sure he doesn't have a higher set, and you can't check/fold the turn so you may as well shove.

Isn't the other guy repping AA here? Won't he turn over AAxx here a lot? Shouldn't we keep the pot small and try and draw to our flush? (Though if he did have AAxx, he would have shoveled the flop, so once he flat calls, I like your turn shovel)
If he shovels over us on the flop, are we folding, or just push-n-praying?

Just because someone raises preflop and bets an A high flop doesn't mean that AA is likely.
If he shovels the flop, getting over 2/1 I sigh and call.

Preflop is ok,
Really, on what basis? Hero has a middle pair, a K, and mediocre club flush potential. I know I'm still new to Omaha, but this has fold PF written all over it.

The biggest thing that makes it ok to call preflop is because we're in the BB. We've already got .25 in the pot, and we're closing the action. No problem to see a flop here.

Granted Hero is getting about 3.5-1 to call but he has a hand that is not likely to turn into anything of value, and may get him in deep water.

All depends. You have to be good enough to lay down medium hands in this game. If you're confident in your postflop play, I don't mind a preflop call.

My PF play with this holding depends on the player that raised. IF I see the flop with this hand I will not be losing a little bit of money. I will be winning a little, losing a lot, or winning a lot.
